**********

Ky was waiting for me when I got home. Though his eyes swept over me in concern, they were still hazed from anger because I chose to speak to Matt without him. I narrowed my eyes at him because he didn’t have a right to be angry. However, I did.

I walked to my deck without speaking to him but I realized that he followed. When I reached the railing I turned, allowing him to see the anger upon my face, “I called you,” I said as my breath quickened with the heat of my anger, “You didn’t answer.”

He shrugged as if it shouldn’t matter, “You said you didn’t need me so I figured that you were okay,” He said, giving the real reason of why he was angry. I rolled my eyes at how ridiculous he was being.

I raised my chin, determined to make him understand, “My brother passed out once I used my gift on him. I did need you in that moment,” I said through clenched teeth, “You weren’t there.”

He shrugged again with a look of infuriating indifference upon his face, “So, call you dad,” he said, crossing his arms over his chest, “I’m sure he would run to help you.”

“I did,” I said, raising my brow and he grinned until I continued, “But he didn’t answer and I tried every other member of the Appointed. Daniel is the one who came when I called.”

His face turned completely red as he faced me in shock and he nearly shouted, “You called him?”

“You didn’t give me much choice,” I said and then, shook my head, “And you are still mad even though it was your fault that I had to call him.”

His eyes narrowed, “You have no idea what it’s like to go out with you…Sometimes, it’s just…too much.”

I blinked as his words sunk in. Suddenly, my anger was gone and all that was left was the guilt and sadness. I stared into Ky’s face and I watched as he realized what he’d said.

“Alex, I didn’t mean it,” he said, paling as he studied me but it was too late. He’d said what I had suspected all along and the damage was done.

“Yes, you did,” I said as my heart broke into. A tear rolled slowly down my cheek as he took a step toward me.

“I love you, Alex,” he said as his eyes widened and I realized he was trying to take away everything he’d said but it was still there. It was still hanging over us.

“I know you do,” I said as I swallowed over a lump in my throat and I whispered the rest of my suspicions that I now knew were true, “But you don’t want to.”

“Alex, don’t…” He pleaded, trying to reach for me but I moved away from him as he cried, “Don’t ruin us.”

Another tear fell as I met his eyes, “Ky, no matter how much I love you or you love me, it’s already ruined. I can’t do this anymore.”

I backed away from him as he shook his head in denial.
